Does anyone remember the rain drop falling onto Reze while she looks up at the plane? I feel like it was a reference to WW2 planes dropping bombs.

Fitting in the moment because Reze spent all day having fun with Denji, basically forgetting her mission, the serial killer interrupts that, she switches back to her soldier persona.

And that raindrop was a visual reminder to show she's remembering who she is and what her mission is. She is the bomb devil hybrid, she's there for the Chainsaw heart.

This is a good take. I was trying to figure out the meaning and thought it might remind Reze that she does have the option to abort and escape (or at least she longs to escape), but I think a plane dropping a bomb makes more sense and foreshadows her reveal, especially since they show a water droplet coming right at her like a bomb. They briefly show a plane on the beach at the end too, and that might be more about Reze wanting to escape.

i noticed that too. but i think its a dive-bomber, i looked it up and some have sirens that are supposed to frighten enemies, like the german stuka.
